Under no circumstances should the engine be started without the operator seated on the mower. Never start the engine with operator or bystanders standing behind a discharge chute. 2. Never run the engine in an enclosed area. 3. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts and cutting units. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running. 4. Do not operate mower or attachments with loose, damaged or missing components. Whenever possible mow when grass is dry. 5. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the mower and control levers. 6. Study the area to determine the best and safest operating procedure. Consider the height of the grass, type of terrain, and condition of the surface. Each condition will require certain adjustments or precautions. 7. Be aware of mower discharge direction and never direct discharge of material toward bystanders. Never allow anyone near the machine while in operation. The owner/operator is responsible for injuries inflicted to bystanders and/or damage to their property. CAUTION Before mowing, pick up all debris such as rocks, toys, and wire which can be thrown by the machine. Enter a new area cautiously. Always operate at speeds that allow you to have complete control of the mower. 8. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas (roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc.). Stones discharged from the implement may cause serious injuries to bystanders and/or damage the equipment. 9. Always turn PTO switch OFF to stop blades when not mowing. 10. Disengage the drive motors, raise the mowers and slow down when crossing paths or roadways. Look out for traffic. 11. Stop and inspect the equipment for damage immediately after striking an obstruction, or if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally. Have the equipment repaired before resuming operation.

21 OPERATION STOPPING / PARKING To stop: Remove your foot from traction pedal. The mower will automatically brake when the traction pedal returns to Neutral. To park the mower under normal conditions: 1. Disengage the power take-off switch (Y), raise the decks, and move away from the area of operation. 2. Select a flat and level area to park. a. Release traction pedal to bring the mower to a complete stop. b. Disengage all drives, lower decks to the ground, reduce throttle to idle, and allow engine to operate at no load for a minute. 3. Engage parking brake, stop the engine and always remove the ignition key. NOTICE Permanent damage to the turbocharger may occur if the engine is shut down without allowing the turbocharger time to cool. To prevent damage, operate the engine at half throttle with no load for 4 to 5 minutes before shutting off engine. If an emergency arises and the mower must be parked in the area of operation, follow the guidelines outlined by the grounds superintendent. If the mower is parked on an incline, chock or block the wheels. 5.6 TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT Read and follow all safety notes contained in this manual when driving or transporting mower. Refer to Section 5.3 for general operating instructions. When operating in reverse look behind you to ensure you have a clear path. Important: If this mower is driven on public roads, it must comply with federal, state, and local ordinances. Contact local authorities for regulations and equipment requirements. NOTICE Engage locks when storing machine overnight. Transport locks must be disengaged before decks can be lowered for cutting. A The mower is equipped with transport locks to lock the side decks in their upright position. Use the transport locks where required for transporting machine over rough terrain, on public roads, or on trailers. To raise decks to their transport position: Set PTO switch to OFF. Pull back and hold deck levers until decks are in their fully raised (transport) position. To engage transport locks: 1. Raise decks to their transport position. 2. Disengage all drives, engage parking brake, and stop engine. 3. Pull transport lock out and rotate it into its locked position as shown (A). Repeat for both side decks. The operator has the option to transport in either 2 wheel drive (2WD) or 4 wheel drive (4WD). Disengaged Engaged HR004 Figure 5B 20

22 5 OPERATION 5.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION WARNING To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary turns, travel at reduced speeds, stay alert for hidden hazards, and drop offs. 13 Maximum CAUTION Do not operate this mower on slopes greater than 17 angle or 30% grade. The mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough terrain, or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control. 1. Always mow with the engine at full throttle but reduce forward speed for safe operation. 2. If the mower tends to slide or the tires begin to mark the turf, angle mower into a less steep grade until traction is regained or tire marking stops. 3. If mower continues to slide or mark the turf, the grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make another attempt to climb, back down slowly. 4. When descending a steep slope, always lower implements to the ground to reduce the risk of mower overturning. 5. Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction. Keep tires inflated to psi ( BAR). 6. If additional traction is required, adjust the traction control knob as described in the Parts & Maintenance Manual. Degrees are shown to nearest 1/4 Grade 100% 13 Maximum 95% 90% 85% 80% Degrees 45 75% 70% 43-1/2 65% 60% 55% 42 50% 40-1/4 45% 40% 38-3/4 35% 30% 25% 20% 36-3/4 15% 10% 5% % General Slipe of Roadway Embankment - 45 Steepest Grass Area - 31 Slope of Average Roof /4 2nd Class Highway Maximum Grade - 4-1/2 Toll Road or Freeway - 1-3/4 Figure 5C 28-3/4 26-1/2 24-1/4 21-3/4 19-1/4 16-3/ /4 8-1/2 5-3/4 2-3/4 0 Figure 5D 21

24 5 OPERATION 5.8 MOWING WARNING To prevent serious injuries, keep hands, feet, and clothing away from cutting unit when the blades are moving. NEVER use your hands to clean cutting units. Use a brush to remove grass clippings from blades. Blades can be sharp and could cause injuries. To clear obstructions from cutting unit, disengage power take-off, engage parking brake, stop engine, and remove key from ignition switch then remove obstruction. To mow: 1. If side deck transport locks are engaged, release them. See Section Set mower to 4WD (L). Cutting units will not operate in 2WD. 3. Press deck levers (O) forward to lower decks. Engage power take-off (Y) to start blades and depress traction pedal slowly to begin mowing. The correct operating speed depends on the height, density, type of grass and terrain being cut. NOTE: Engine speed will automatically decrease to 2400 RPM when PTO switch is engaged. 4. To raise decks first turn PTO switch (Y) off to stop blades, then pull and hold deck levers (O) back. Always stop and raise decks when crossing paths or roadways. CAUTION Never raise decks with the blades turning. Always disengage power take-off. 5. Use turn assist pedals to reduce turning radius when needed to cut around objects. See Section Adjust down pressure control (P) as desired to improve weight distribution between decks and mower. See Section Plan your cutting pattern to avoid unnecessary turns so you will mow as straight as possible. a. For extremely tall grass, first cut at a higher level then lower decks to the desired cutting height. b. Slow down when turning, operating in tight areas, mowing on hillsides or over rough terrain. 5.9 MOW SPEED Cutting quality is better at speeds well below the transport speed of the mower. An initial mow speed of 5 to 6 mph (8 to 9.6 kph) is set at the factory and should be satisfactory for most cutting conditions. Local turf conditions however may respond better to a different speed. A To set mow speed, loosen jam nut (A) and adjust stop screw up to reduce speed, down to increase speed. Tighten nut to hold adjustment in place. HR AFTER OPERATION 1. Park the mower on a flat, level surface. Fully lower the implements to the ground, engage parking brake, stop the engine, and remove key from ignition switch. 2. Grease and lubricate all points if required, wash the cutting units and mower after each use. Note: Do not wash a hot or running engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine and radiator fins. 3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. Be sure to reinstall and tighten fuel cap. Read Parts & Maintenance Manual for proper care and cleaning procedures. 23

25 OPERATION TOWING / TRAILERING If the mower experiences problems and must be shut down and removed from the area, it should be loaded onto a trailer for transport. If a trailer is not available, the unit can be towed slowly short distances. Use care when loading and unloading mower. Fasten mower to trailer to prevent mower from rolling or shifting during transport. Long Distance Trailering / Transport. If the mower is to be trailered on the highway, before strapping to trailer, close fuel shut off valve, and inflate tires to the maximum pressure listed on side of tire. Reduce tire pressure to normal after removing from trailer. Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits moving the mower without starting the engine and prevents possible damage to hydraulic components. The tow valve (A) is located on the hydraulic drive pump beneath the operators seat. Remove cover from floor in front of operator s seat. To open valve, use a wrench or insert a pin or small screw driver into the small hole in the valve stem. Turn the valve counterclockwise one full turn. Before towing make sure cutting units are raised. If they cannot be raised, remove them from the mower. Close valve completely and replace cover after towing. NOTE: Do not exceed 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) while towing. Long distance towing is not recommended. A HR011 Figure 5F 24
